Auston Matthews hilariously discloses weak spot in Justin Bieber's hockey skills
In a lighthearted exchange at the NHL All-Star red carpet event, Auston Matthews couldn't help but spill the beans on his co-captain Justin Bieber's hockey prowess. When asked about Bieber's shot, Matthews chuckled before revealing:
"He's more of a finesse kind of player."
The pop sensation seems to be focusing on the finesse game rather than unleashing powerful shots on the ice.
Curious about Bieber's speed, Matthews was probed about his wheels. Quick to praise the celebrity captain, Matthews said:
"He's quick, he's fast out there, good hands. Shot power needs a little help, we can work on that."
It seems like even the chart-topping artist might need some coaching to enhance his shot power.
Shifting the focus to Bieber's mentality on the ice, Auston Matthews offered more high praise:
"Great mentality. Stress-free. Just go out there and have some fun."
As the banter continued, Auston Matthews playfully positioned Bieber in the team hierarchy:
"He's top six. Half wall. First power play. 25 minutes tonight. I know, honestly."
The exaggerated estimate of ice time adds a humorous touch to the camaraderie between the two captains, promising a light-hearted and entertaining dynamic on the NHL All-Star stage.
